New Phase Of Homes Launched At East London Development

Offering buyers an affordable opportunity to set down roots in the growing community of Barking Riverside, L&Q launched a new phase of homes at Iris Quarter on 31 January.

This comprises a total of 45 homes for sale and another 168 homes available through Shared Ownership. In the initial release, a selection of three-bedroom duplexes for sale and one-, two- and three-bedroom Shared Ownership homes will be available.

Once complete, Barking Riverside will deliver over 10,000 homes for East London. Meanwhile, residents welcomed the opening of two landmark transport connections last year; the London Overground extension to the brand new Barking Riverside station and Uber Boat by Thames Clippers Pier, ideal for purchasers seeking a neighbourhood with fast links into central London.

From the Barking Riverside station, residents can make use of the new Overground route which enables journey times of just 22 minutes into Central London. Offering further connections, the Hammersmith and City line, District line, and the C2C services all run from nearby Barking Station, which is just a seven minute service from Barking Riverside. The Uber Boat route connects Barking Riverside to Woolwich in just nine minutes, from where the DLR is directly accessible.

Claire Brenlund, sales and marketing director at L&Q comments: “2022 was a very exciting year for Barking Riverside with the opening of two new major transport services for the development. We are welcoming all types of new buyers, from families seeking larger houses to young professionals looking for stylish contemporary apartments, all of whom will have buying options in our upcoming launch at the end of the month. As the development grows, Barking Riverside continues to be home to a well-established and proudly diverse community, with many residents playing leading roles in making the neighbourhood an exciting and fulfilling place to live. L&Q buyers can secure themselves a quality home and become part of a truly unique community which is set to benefit from even more facilities in the future.”

All L&Q’s homes feature spacious open-plan kitchen/dining areas, with contemporary kitchens which make for the ultimate entertaining zone. Sizable bedrooms benefit from large windows, which flood the rooms with natural light whilst bathrooms are fitted with modern white sanitaryware and chrome fixtures. Every home also boasts a private balcony or terrace.

Family buyers interested in L&Q’s three-bedroom duplexes are well-catered for when it comes to educational facilities. There are currently four schools at Barking Riverside, including two primary schools, a large Ofsted-rated “Outstanding” secondary school, and a Special Educational Needs (SEN) school. There are also two private nurseries and a pre-school on site. A further three schools will be delivered as part of the Barking Riverside masterplan.

A network of new cycle and walking routes run throughout the development, and with an emphasis on community, the development hosts a jam-packed schedule of events throughout the year which have previously included Supper Clubs, sports days, arts and crafts events and winter markets. Barking Riverside also has numerous community groups that people can join, from a resident events panel to an editorial board who write the local newsletter, enabling residents to play an active role in their neighbourhood.
